Lyrics Ray LaMontagne

Ray LaMontagne

Beg Steal or Borrow

So your hometown's bringin' you down

Are you drownin' in the small talk and the chatter?

Are you gonna step into line like your daddy done?

Punchin' the time and climbing life's long ladder

You've been howlin' at the moon like a slack-jawed fool

And breaking every rule they can throw on

Well, one of these days is gonna be right soon

You'll find your legs and go and stay gone

Young man, full of big plans

And thinkin' about tomorrow

Young man, gonna make a stand

You beg, you steal, you borrow

You beg, you steal, you borrow

Pull all the friends that you knew in school

They used to be so cool, now they just bore you

Well look at 'em now, already pullin' the plow

So quick to take to grain like some old mule

Young man, full of big plans

And thinkin' about tomorrow

Young man, gonna make a stand

You beg, you steal, you borrow

You beg, you steal, you borrow

Dreamin' of the day you're gonna pack your bags

Put the miles away

Oh, just grab your girl and go where no one knows you

What will all the old folks say?

So the hometown's bringin' you down

Are you drownin' in the small talk and the chatter?

Are you gonna step into line like your daddy done?

Punchin' the time and climbing life's long ladder

Young man, full of big plans

And thinkin' about tomorrow

Young man, gonna make a stand

You beg, you steal, you borrow

You beg, you steal, you borrow
